A better search engine
Ability to set individual-user filters (block x-user, y-topic, z-thread)
Ability to embed videos in a thread (like you do :-))

With a million plus posts a better search enging woulf be nice. It might also be nice to be able to search by thread topic, verses content, and original poster.
Or keep it all the same.

It seems as if the question is directed at the forum regarding the website as a whole, not just regarding the forum.

Adding "Views" to the forum, like you have for trip reports & articles, would be nice.

What do you mean by "Views"?

Number of thread views. Shows that even though the post count is low, the view count may be high

I agree that an improved search engine would be helpful. Ability to search within particular threads (I may have missed how to do this currently), limit the search to the titles of threads and individual posts, etc.
A separate classified section for buying & selling gear.
Within the Climbing Areas / Climbing Routes sections, it would be great if Supertopo Members had a section to provide links to other sites where other areas are covered well. If a region isn't covered by SuperTopo, then where is it covered well - contributions by members to help other members find information.

Posting vids... Yes!
Better search... Yes!
But... other than that this puppy works killer! Be wary of making too many changes or bowing to the whims of one group or another.

Need more Youngblood on this site?
I think so.
Facilitate (but don't rule) a "Click and Contribute" annual Taco Expedition Grant.
Set it up along the lines of AAC grants, etc. Allow potential recipients to submit proposals along the lines of a pre-trip report. Enable a mechanism where only those who contribute to the fund get to vote on who receives a grant. No post-exped awards - pre-only.
One vote per x$ contributed. Grants, considered GONE once you click on the contribute button, no ROI promised or expected. Caveat Emptor!
If sufficient interest, could be several small projects as opposed to one big international gig...
? Whaddaya yall think? Plenty of practical considerations of course... like who the hell is going to vet the proposals (Free the Aid Chimney on the Blue Butt Plug Spire, for instance)... but it could be made to work, generate site traffic and spur something new in the climbing world?

The ability to rotate a photo once uploaded. A way to go back "x" amount of posts, trip reports, or forum topics rather than just the beginning, end or the prior/next 30 topics, posts, or trip reports.

I know it's futile... but please separate out the climbing stuff from the non-climbing stuff.

I have said this before, but to have things bumped to the top of the list when they are viewed as well as when they are commented on. that could be a cluster as well, but I think it would reflect better why people log onto Supertopo.

Good idea Dingus, a grant page or fund raising for injured climber charity.

I would submit that charity should remain 'grass roots' and should not be formalized via a commercial website. I think it would lose some of The Magic in the process.
Grants for climbing proposals, however, would drive meaningful business traffic, serve the climbing community and be of interest to lots of folks here! Why even business might see fit to kick in gear and what have you....
My take, of course, your view is equally welcome!

ability to block users AND block threads. I don't check them anyways, so why not surface the threads that I want to stay with.
vid embeds would improve TR quality, well at least for those that still post in the taco as opposed to on their own blogs. NTTIAWWT
